Xico

It's been two years and some
And no sign of Xico
Some say he emigrated
Some say he found
A Brazilian girl who's not bad at all

And Dolores waits for him every day
With soup on the stove and the usual dish
She pretends not to hear the neighbors
And asks God for a little more hope

Oh Xico, Oh Xico
Where did you go?
Oh Xico, Oh Xico
Don't make me suffer anymore

Since she was little, Dolores dreams of finding
A Portuguese man with sea-colored eyes
No one understood why the craziness
She had for the other side of the border

She met Xico in Almerimar
And right there they decided to marry
Dolores took the essentials
The old sewing box and the apron

Oh Xico, Oh Xico
Where did you go?
Oh Xico, Oh Xico
Don't make me suffer anymore

They lived ten unmatched years
No one predicted such an end
Now, Dolores says with regret
From Spain, neither good wind
Nor a good marriage

Oh Xico, Oh Xico
Where did you go?
Oh Xico, My guy
Don't make me suffer anymore
